Artist Statement

My work begins with the body I live in.

Photography gives me a way to look back. It lets me hold the gaze, redirect it, interrupt it, and sometimes refuse it entirely.

I make images that stay close to the body: skin, beds, sidewalks, hands, machines, heat, fatigue, pleasure, and the ordinary architecture of dependence. These details are not interruptions. They are the work.

The camera allows the image to be frank without becoming explanatory. I am interested in what remains unresolved: desire, awkwardness, humor, control, tenderness, and the pressure of being seen.

The body is not the limitation. The gaze is.
